M and I were able to spend an entire day in the mountains while the kids were being thoroughly entertained by Grandmamma!
We started out by going to the highest point in SC, Sassafras Mountain. You can pretty much drive(straight UP!) to the top but have to walk the last 500ft or so! Not too bad to get an awesome view! And, we were able to stand in NC and SC at the same time as the state line also happens to run through the top of the mountain. The state is getting ready to spend a bunch of money and put in a a state of the art observation deck but it was nice to get to see it before all that happened!
Next, we went to Brevard and had a quiet, kid-free lunch and actually were able to have a conversation and leisurely eat our food..ahhh!
After lunch we made our way to the Blue Ridge Parkway and made a stop at Mount Pisgah. We hiked up, up, up 1.5 miles and 700+ feet to the top of the mountain. Breathtaking views! It has been so long since we've really been able to hike and we both loved it!
